The Creativity Workbook for Coaches and Creatives is now available on Amazon.
My latest book, The Creativity Workbook for Coaches and Creatives, is here! Edited by Eric Maisel and contains articles by talented creatives sharing excersises to help unleash the creative within. I contributed two chapters.
One: Flip-it! A Playful Way To Bring Awareness To Internal Self-talk.
This step-by-step guide uses a simple process to raise awareness of its impact on artistic practice. It retrains the mind to automatically flip the negative self-talk and replace it with more confident language. It combines wordplay and images, asks four thought-provoking questions and results in visualising the new productive self-talk to help you create effortlessly.

Two: The Confidence Shop Visualisation.If you could buy yourself a bit of confidence, what would that be? Here's a quick exercise helping creatives visualise that one specific thing that would make a real difference to their creative growth. Alongside seven thought-provoking questions to deepen the experience and help bring greater clarity and positive progress.
